The Best Medicinal - February 2023

Traditional Medicinals

In 1974, neighborhood activist Drake Sadler and fourth-generation herbalist Rosemary Gladstar started Traditional Medicinals, an herbal herbal tea firm. With the goal of reviving herbalism from North America , they traveled to the origin of medicinal plants often in remote, rural places. In their journeys they have been shocked to discover the bad social, working and living conditions of those mostly native and impoverished herb farmers and crazy collectors.

Following the principles of "right livelihood" the company initiated a new ethical sourcing design by promoting organic agriculture, creating long-term honorable and fair trading associations, and investing in those sourcing communities.

Over four years later, our teas are still invented by herbalists, hailed sensibly, and analyzed for quality by plant scientists. Our purposeful mission continues through your conscious choice to support Traditional Medicinals. Thank you.
